Company's Description: "EnteroLab
is a registered and fully accredited* clinical laboratory specializing in the
analysis of intestinal specimens for food sensitivities (reactions by the
immune system to common proteins in the diet) that cause a variety of symptoms
and diseases. One particular area of our focus relates to intestinal conditions
caused by immune reactivity to a protein called gluten which is found in wheat,
barley, rye, and oats. Recent research in our laboratory indicates that immune
sensitivity to gluten is exceedingly common, present in 30-40% of all
Americans. Although these reactions can cause malnutrition, growth failure in
children, osteoporosis, many autoimmune diseases (including colitis, diabetes,
arthritis, and many others), most of the affected individuals are unaware they
have it because there have been no sensitive tests capable of diagnosis.
Similar sensitivity to yeast in the diet has been linked to the development of
an inflammatory intestinal disease called Crohn's disease."
